If you can’t be there, feel there

Unlike the video calling you’re used to, Portal has Smart Camera. So it feels like being together in the same room even when you’re far apart. And Portal makes it easier to connect more regularly with the most important people in your life.

Move and talk freely with Smart Camera and Smart Sound

Follows the action

No more “Wait... I can’t see you.” Portal’s Smart Camera intelligently adjusts to stay with the action, whether you’re moving around the kitchen or chasing the kids through the living room.

Keeps everyone in frame

As more people enter a room, Smart Camera automatically widens to keep everyone in view, so you don’t miss a moment.

Voice-enhancing microphones

Portal enhances the voice of whoever is talking, wherever they move in the room, and minimizes unwanted background noises.

Camera and microphone off

You can completely disable the camera and microphone with a single tap. This mode physically disconnects the camera and microphone, and they cannot be turned back on without pressing the button again.

Private by design

Portal was created with privacy, safety and security in mind. And it has clear and simple settings, so you stay in control.

You can completely disable the camera and microphone with a single tap, or block the camera lens with the camera cover provided.

Facebook doesn’t listen to, view or keep the contents of your Portal video calls. Your Portal conversations stay between you and the people you’re calling.

For added security, Smart Camera uses AI technology that runs locally on Portal, not on Facebook servers. Portal’s camera does not use facial recognition and does not identify who you are.

Like other voice-enabled devices, Portal only sends voice commands to Facebook servers after you say, “Hey Portal.” You can delete Portal’s voice history in your Facebook Activity Log.

Experience more together

With Story Time on Portal, you can become some of your children’s favorite characters as you read along to well-loved stories. And if friends or family also have Portal, you can listen to your favorite music together as if you were in the same room, without delays or feedback.

Interactive stories

With music, animation and augmented reality effects, Portal lets you get into stories like never before.
